THE VALUE OF TIME
We are informed in a recent news dispatch that Thomas A. Edison, on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday, was just two hours late to his office.
Here is some very fair food for thought. Much time has been spent, much very probably wasted, in attempting to analyze the causes of great success. Here is one fundamental cause of one of our Nation's greatest successes, fairly thrown in our faces.
He knew the value of time! At his seventy-fifth birthday he still knows it. His life, already a wonderful success measured by any standards you care to apply, is now one devoted entirely to service. To render this service, he needs time. And he has learned to take advantage of every bit available.
This lesson comes very close to us of the University, and no doubt to the students of all universities. It is not a too-daring statement to say that there is more time wasted in the educational institutions of the country than any other one place. It is more dangerous because of the fact that so much of it is hidden behind the cloak of the "social side" of collegiate development. There is this social side, but it has become too much a cloud that has hidden from the students of today any realization of
An optimist is a student who buys a new suit of clothes for credit and expects to pay for it and work his way through school at the same time.
THAT TIRED FEELING
A large number of students don't get enough sleep. And what they do is at most irregular hours. Edison may be able to get along on four hours of sleep out of the twenty-four, but it is easy to ascertain that the students who make a practice of burning the midnight oil too frequently and for purposes other than studies are not among the Phi Beta Kappas of the campus.
This lack of sleep is brought home forcibly to the professor who is forced to gaze at the dreamy countenance of one who is making up for his lost slumbers. A great many of his listeners if not already resting peacefully in the arms of Morpheus are maintaining a desperate struggle to keep themselves from landing there with a resultant lack of attention. The words of the lecturer simply do not make any impression on them.
But really it is quite astounding the amount one can learn about his course simply by listening to the lecturers. It is a shame so few students realize this fact until around their senior year. The truth of the matter is, however that the outside work and after-effect required to get in a course is nearly doubled by this lack of attention while in class. By actual trial it has been found that a student of average intelligence by close
attention during the class periods can just about go through some courses on what he hears in the lectures. Let us hope that some time he will make a practice of sleeping in his room while in bed and not in the class room while supposedly he is listening to a lecture.
THE PEST
There is in our mist a comparatively new species of man. That is, he is not new but only of late has been discovered in his true light. Some have named him "the pest" but the name is too conservative and also too ambiguous. The name "pest" just isn't mean enough.
Webster says that a pest is a fatal epidemic of disease. Various other etymologists give the word a similar definition. There is little doubt but what they would have given the word more serious thought if they had known that some day it might refer to a person.
Although this "pest" is not a fatal epidemic of disease, the definition partly fits him. He is fatal, fatal to those with whom he associates, and fatal to himself. His greatest weakness is perhaps, among many others, that he craves companionship.
He starts the grind of his pestilence nature early in the morning. When he arises in the morning he insists that his bed-bell arise with him—of course he has one, its nature. Poor bed-bell might have been out late the night before; he might not want breakfast; he might not even have an eight-thirty or a nine-thirty; but he must get up. This is not so bad; a person should get up in the
but he must get up. This is not so bad; a person should get up in the morning.
Later, he keeps some one waiting to go with him to an eight-thirty while he pests some one else. Consequently, there are two tardy mark-chalked up where there should have
but been one. In class he must sit close to his victim and whisper in an understate the whole class hour. If the professor says something of importance he interrupts the whole class by asking for repetition.
Such is his course the whole day. It seems to be his inner nature to drag some one away from work to go with him to a movie to a cafe to
with him to a movie, to a cate, to read a personal letter, or down town. He never seems to have any work to do himself and it seems to be his set rule not to let any one else work. He is afflicted with inattention, selfishness, and irresponsibility.
There is only one redeeming feature about a "pest" and that is, he is not with us long. But, one sad fact remains—where ever he is some one is being pestered.

Dialogue frm the third floor of Ad.
Design-taking journalist to
painting student: "I should think you
would get dreadfully musy dobbing
around with paints. But then you
have a colored junior to clean up,
not don't. I saw one leave the pain-
turing room awhile ago?"
Paint singer: "Colored man, noth-
ing. What you saw was a student
who'd just finished cleaning up
round his last picture."
A Kansas, Normal sorority is having a fire escape installed on its house and the Norma Bulletin hints that they expect great results in breaking the date rule. Strange, isn't it, that so few of K. U.'s wayward sororities have yet thought of this simple execlivent.
"Yes, the speaker certainly convinced me he was right."

Oh! Those Solicitors—Don Cooper has been assisting with the K. U. drive the last few days. He asked a young Wichita lawyer for a donation. The lawyer refused, saying that he only attended K. U. a short time, and did not consider it his school. Mr. Cooper insisted that he knew the lawyer. The lawyer told him his wife never attended K. U. Mr. Cooper insisted on being discouraged, cheerfully agreed, but remarked, that her first husband bad—Wichita Eagle.
Student Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan;
The justification for college fraternities, that of furnishing a temporary home for its members does not exist for high school fraternities.
The school authorities of Lawrence have been having difficulty in eliminating high school fraternities. That high school fraternities are in a general pst in all school systems where they exist is generally conceded. Most of the Pan-Hellenic Councils of college fraternities, I am told, recognize this and have a clause declaring ineligible to membership those students who have been former members if high school fraternities.
Both the K. U. P. Pan-Hellenic and the local fraternities have made no discrimination or attempted to help solve the local high school fraternity problem. I have been told that the Pan-Hellenic has an ineligibility clause mentioned above. If so they certainly do not enforce it.
It is rumored among high school students here that if they do not get into a high school fraternity they are getting into a college fraternity here.
Of course it is said that the high school snops will get together and form cliques, even the we oppose them. In other words, it certainly is not a good thing for either the K. U. fraternities, national or local, nor the local school authorities to encourage sabbety by putting them in charge on the illegal high school fraternity.

Forrest E. Jones, B. S. 15, at instructor in mechanical engineering at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas, has written the Alumni Office for the names of former students and graduates of the University of Nassau in Austin, as she wishes them to get together to talk over old times.
“What do I owe my Alma Mater and what did my Alma Mater do for me?” they are the questions which O. H. Parker, "84, at present a physician in Boston," and in a letter received from him by the Alumni office recently.
AN OLD GRAD SPEAKS
What did my Alma Mater do for me? I suppose that most of us never seriously asked ourselves this question. We are carried away by the enthusiasm of our Graduate Magazine and its contributors, just as we are at a football game even though we have not seen nor understood the play.
"I seem to remember arriving at Lawrence one rainy morning at about four o'clock and waiting around the deput until it became time to go up town and get something to eat. I was a dreary morning and I dreaded the long wait, but just at the right time there came into the depot two of the finest fellows to pass the time with me and then up town to breakfast with me. This was my first acquaintance with Kelsey which ripened into a friendship which lasted through our school life and though it has been many years since I have seen either of them, we are still friends.
He says:
"My next wid recollection of University life was at a meeting of the Science Club, where I first saw, beamed and fell for Professor Blake, and although I never had the good fortune to be in one of his classes, I did absorb one of his theories and it has been with me through life—that to understand facts is much more interesting than to remember their names.
"But better than all this are the memories of the friends in the faculty and among the students. It has been twenty-eight years since I left the old University and I have met no stronger, truer characters nor men whose friendship I lift in higher esteem. Our Alma Mater gave us friends, friends who have many stories to tell, people with correctcept and example, some hard knocks and a little knowledge. For all of which we should be truly thankful.
"Somehow through the years, the memory of the time spent at K. U. is treasured among the fondest of my recollections, and I sometimes feel as Charley Higgins used to say, that if he had the choice between going to heaven or K. U. that he would choose K. U.
"When I came to the University, I was ambitious, honest, and hoped to excel in many things. I started to play football and a fellow named Hamil took away my ambition. I tried to row, the scow upset and took away the spark of ambition that was left. I say that I was honest! I went into the chemical and pharmaceutical condition of my exhacerber could not stand the strain and I soon fell to the level of of my contemporaries.
"Will you let me," said the student
As he quickly doffed his cap
But the maiden with the right hook
Handed him an awful slap.
And the student's face was crimson,
As he stood before the lass,
But he finished out the sentence
"Will you kindly let me pass?"
In she came;
Down she sot;
Laid an egg,
And up she got—Gargoyle.
